I came across this little gem at a garage sale.  The unusual cover, with an illustration of gnarled roots, caught my eye. When I opened the cover and saw the illustrations, I knew it would be mine!

Published in Great Britain, it was written in 1915 by Rex Vicat Cole.  It is a whole discussion on trees in art, with illustrations to go with!  Since trees are one of my favorite subjects, this book will be a lovely little resource.

    I just found out about this book today while searching drawings of Dean Cornwell. I love drawing tree. Now I am searching for a copy. Apparently there’s plenty used one.
